Maximum Clearance and Unshakable Performance

Elevate your optic with the flagship performance of the EGW Keystone 1" Scope Rings. Specifically engineered for situations demanding maximum height, these rings feature a 1.275-inch centerline, making them the ultimate solution for mounting scopes on AR-15s, flat-top rifles, or any firearm where a higher line of sight is crucial for a comfortable and effective cheek weld. This height provides ample clearance for even the largest objective lenses, ensuring your setup is versatile and uncompromised.

The Keystone series is built on a foundation of absolute strength. Each ring is precision CNC-machined from a solid billet of aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum and secured with a massive Chromoly steel crossbolt. This robust, horizontally-split design, clamped with T15 Torx screws, creates a virtually indestructible mounting platform that will not shift under recoil. For a high-performance rifle, demand a high-performance mounting system—demand Keystone.

• Precision Machined: CNC-machined from solid 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum to the tightest tolerances.
• High-Profile Design: The 1.275" height is optimized for AR-platform rifles and scopes with large objective lenses.
• Made in the USA: Designed, machined, and assembled with pride in Quakertown, Pennsylvania.

The Modern Advantage: Why We Use Aircraft-Grade Aluminum

While traditional steel rings have their place, modern metallurgy has proven that strength doesn't have to come with a massive weight penalty. We use domestically-sourced 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum for its incredible strength-to-weight ratio. It's more than strong enough to hold zero on the heaviest magnum calibers, yet light enough that it won't weigh down your rifle. Furthermore, aluminum allows for more precise machining than steel, resulting in a perfect, stress-free fit on your scope tube that prevents ring marks. It offers the ultimate balance of strength, low weight, and precision for today's firearms.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these 1.275" rings the best choice for my AR-15?

A: Yes, for most users, this height is considered optimal for an AR-15. It raises the optic to a level that aligns perfectly with a natural, heads-up shooting posture, making it more comfortable and faster to get on target compared to lower rings.

Q: What is the largest objective lens I can use with these high rings?

A: The 1.275" height provides clearance for virtually any objective lens on the market, including 56mm and larger, on a standard flat-top receiver. There is typically no concern about the scope bell hitting the rail or handguard with rings this high.

Q: What is the benefit of the Chromoly crossbolt used in the Keystone series?

A: Chromoly steel is significantly stronger and more resistant to shearing forces than the hardware found in typical budget-friendly rings. This massive crossbolt is the component that directly fights the forces of recoil, ensuring your scope mount will not slip or lose zero, period.

Q: Will these rings work on a bolt-action rifle as well?

A: Yes, while they are ideal for ARs, these high rings can also be used on bolt-action rifles, especially those built into a chassis system or for shooters who prefer a higher head position for long-range shooting disciplines.

Q: Are Keystone rings sold individually or as a pair?

A: All EGW scope rings, including our flagship Keystone series, are sold as a matched pair to ensure perfect alignment and a secure fit right out of the box.
